Service-Oriented
Middleware for Multi-UAV Guided Ad Hoc Networks Vishal Sharma1* and Rajesh Kumar2 1CSED, Thapar University, Patiala, Punjab, India.
Collaboration of different ad
hoc networks can extend the application of single operating ad hoc units. One
of the examples of collaboratively operating network is combination of aerial
and ground ad hoc networks. Both of the ad hoc networks have been implemented
individually while providing varied applications in their single mode of
operation. The collaboration of these networks will extend their application.
For efficient collaboration and performance, a highly scalable and adaptive
architectures are required that can provide robust connectivity. Such
robustness can be attained by developing a service-oriented middleware that
can be integrated with other network layers. In this paper, a
service-oriented layered middleware is proposed that allows efficient
transmission and provides longer connectivity time between the two
distributed but simultaneously operating ad hoc networks. The proposed
middleware is tested for its temporal dependencies in terms of service
connectivity time. Keywords: Service-oriented middleware, UAVs ad hoc networks, Guided networks, Temporal dependencies *Corresponding Author: Vishal Sharma India-147004, Alternate Email Id: vishal.sharma@thapar.edu, Tel:
